Any        > ideas?              Looks to me like it's a 79 column ANSI (which is what you normally want) but       doesn't have a CRLF to force a new line on each row, so you end up with a       printing character in the 80th column (generally, a bad idea) and off-by-one       for each subsequent row.       --         digital man (rob)              Synchronet "Real Fact" #43:       Synchronet added Baja/PCMS support with v2.00a (1994)       Norco, CA WX: 81.9øF, 52.0% humidity, 9 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/112 113 200 206 275 307 317 400 426 428 470 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 460/58 633/267 280 281 410 412 418 420 509 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
